From the article: The post-storm housing — a refugee camp on the grounds of the Monmouth Park racetrack – is in lockdown, with security guards at every door, including the showers.

No one is allowed to go anywhere without showing their I.D. Even to use the bathroom, “you have to show your badge,” said Amber Decamp, a 22-year-old whose rental was washed away in Seaside Heights, New Jersey.

The mini city has no cigarettes, no books, no magazines, no board games, no TVs, and no newspapers or radios. On Friday night, in front of the mess hall, which was serving fried chicken and out-of-the-box, just-add-water potatoes, a child was dancing and dancing — to nothing. “We’re starting to lose it,” said Decamp. “But we have nowhere else to go.”

If they're so heavily guarded....how in the hell are they even allowed to tell what's going on???? Just seems weird to me that they are saying anything if they can't even use the toilet without permission.

Quoting: Jeepster

the REASON they have to check in to use the potty is because they don't want people shooting up drugs in there, or rapes or whatever...when you have that many unknown factor people jammed together, it is actually SMART to monitor them because SOME PEOPLE cannot be trusted.

Remember the havoc at the super dome after Katrina? They learned from that and are providing security for people but that is now a problem too,for tards.

I agree after the atrocities of Katrina,hopefully they have learned , I have worked at a homeless shelter,there has to be security,there are bad people,for God 's sake we live in a sick society,greed, perversion ...wake up people, you have to be able to take care of yourself and your loved ones,get ready things are going to get worse,don't rely on the government. Prepare yourselves..

If some woman or child got ganged raped at a temporary shelter for displaced people all of you tards would be screaming because there was no security. I guess GLPers like to bitch about everything as their mom makes them another bowl of FruitLoops.

That´s right, maybe for their own security, they should put cameras everywhere, inside the toilettes also, RFID everybody, and put electric collars to people that can be remotely activated, so if someone intends to harm you, the security wards can give the malcreant an electric shock.

Last time they had Fema set-up people were being raped, kids molested, belongings stolen. When you have to rely on government care this is what happens.

Not all, but a good amount seaside heights residents in the winter have criminal records. Again NOT ALL! Check the sec offender website to see how many registered sex offenders were living there. So a repeat of rape and crime is very possible. Check for yourself.

There is no debating with a delusional person like you that goes to the absurd to make a point.

My work place has access cards that need to be used at EVERY door.. including the bathrooms!edit: and just to be clear, I don't work in a prison, I work in an office building: end edit

It's done to ensure no undesirables get in and hurt those working in the building. Are you telling me that none of you GLP'rs have worked in a secure building? That is why they call it a "secure site".

I agree with a previous poster who mentioned that if something went wrong..ie: rape, molestation, etc. that there would be and outcry about the "lack" of security.You cannot have secure, without security measures!

If people can get in and out at will.. why doesn't someone just go to the nearest SallyAnne and get a game? It would probably be given to them for FREE if asked for! A deck of cards is not a difficult thing to get and board games line the shelves of second hand stores.. for 25 or 50 cents.

These people are in a secure site for their protection.. Its time people that are in these sites, tried to help make life a litte better for themselves and others by offering to do something. Help clean, pool resources, figure out what "can" be done and "do" it!

Why? all I said is very reasonable, those measures will help to improve security of the internees.You are not helping!

If WE can check for the bad guys surely FEMA can! Putting them in tents with no heat..bahhhh

I'm not trying to be insensitive, but what does everyone really expect a FEMA camp post-disaster to be? A stay at the Hilton? Fresh linens and a down comforter?

Loud generators? duhGuards patroling and keeping an eye for people who have an absolute nervous breakdown? (think NO meds for A LOT of ppl) obviously

Obsiously its going to be rough, but does no one remember them BEGGING everyone to leave and get out of the entire area? (GLP was making fun of the NOAA plea "think of your family and the responders who will have to come save your asses")
